From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

1668-9. Thomas Chowne and Elizabeth Foice: Marriage Alleg. (Canterbury).

A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

This family is said to be from. Castle Chiowne, Chioune, Chun, or Choon, which some interpret a "house in a croft." I take it to be the same name as Chywoon in Morrah, or Perran Arwarthal; from chy-woon, the house on the down or common. There was a Thomas Chounens or Chowne; and Chowen, Chawn, Chunn would seem to be the same name.
